The absence of a reply is effectively an answer, 
yes.

Only lack of time prevents one of us from 
collecting improvements and building another 
alpha release.  A few serious bugs, such as that 
in TCP/IP, remain unsolved and many new applications 
in Aos are not available in Oberon.  With the very 
small user population, work on Oberon is a tough 
proposition.

When Aos first appeared viable for the public, 
Pieter Muller described the requirements to put
it on an i386.  Perhaps work in this direction is
a better investment in the long term.

What is your objective?

Regards,          Peter
